I have been told there are three main elements which do into a first blog post; introducing oneself, describing why you will be blogging, the subject of the blog, and encouraging comments.
Who am I? Well, other than a dour somewhat nerdy character of questionable motives, I am a Brit born and bred. I am also, and have always been, a Londoner and, if I do say so myself, fit the stereotype to a tee. That is to say I read on public transport (when I’m not complaining about the delays), have a phobia of strangers, I am always on the lookout for muggers and I certainly never ask for directions.
Well, there are a good 7700000 of us Londoners out and about the world so you’re probably wondering at this point why I felt the need to start blogging.
In the past I have started a few blogs and have had neither the patience nor the motivation to keep them up and running. However, recently, despite having less time than ever and a work load so huge that it makes withdrawing from Afghanistan look like a doddle, I have become increasingly aware of the unsung heroes of the ever degrading chaos that we call home sweet home.
I don’t just mean firemen who risk their own lives day in, day out, to save cats from the uppermost branches of trees but also comedians, writers, dancers, plumbers, teachers, and even some people who are so fantastic they defy categorisation. Ranging from the unknown to the notorious – anyone who is underappreciated.
So, that is my reason for blogging and my subject delivered relatively painlessly. I will be attempting to keep up with at least weekly or bi-weekly entries with the occasional video or photo for those who find reading just a little bit too much to deal with in their lives.
If you have any suggestions as to who you believe to be an unsung hero or want to contact me then I would love to hear from you at:
Thanks guys : )
